A climate-proof budget to drive the EU clean energy transition to a low carbon economy

The European Union (EU) Multi Annual Financial Framework (MFF) post 2020 will define the financial means to address societal, economic and environmental challenges the EU is currently facing.

The MFF is also a unique opportunity for the EU to demonstrate coherence with its long-term energy and climate policy objectives and deliver tangible benefits to European citizens.

With that in mind and in line with the EU’s Paris Agreement commitments, this paper presents the views of a cross-sectoral alliance of businesses united by the shared vision that energy efficiency, by driving growth, jobs and delivering European added value, is the key to a cost-efficient and competitive decarbonization of our economy.
